The Trump administration is doubling down on distributing a COVID-19 vaccine before Election Day, aligning the timeline for a crucial public health measure with the President’s political fortunes.
The warped speed Trump Votecine?
No thanks…
Operation Derp Speed.
Is the vaccine going to be as safe as hydroxychloroquine or bleach?
No one is going to take that shit. Trumpers think it’s all a hoax therefore they don’t need no stupid vaccine. The rest is us are to smart to take something untested.
Also, where’s the Insurance companies on this? Or do we just assume it’s all free?
Putin’s practices sponsored by Putin’s Pet.
Nope.
Not gonna.
I think it might be a cocktail of the two.
Hmm…maybe you won’t take the dose in a shot…but in a cup of tea?
On the other hand, if you have 330 million people in the Stage III trial, you’d have a high degree of confidence in the results. 
I’m not going to touch it, and I believe in vaccines. I’ve volunteered for the trial, and I’d take it as part of a trial. I will not take it without FDA approval and a package insert laying out the risks and success rates.
Ain’t gonna be donnie’s guinea pig.
Me neither - nor am I going to be Governor Abbott’s guinea pig.
Nice joke Matt, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.
In a Phase III trial there are follow-up visits and monitoring. Nothing like that is being proposed here.
There is no doubt we need an urgent end to the pandemic. Economies around the world are crashing. Governments are piling up trillions of dollars in debt. And, in the US alone, tens of millions are without work or income. But there are still costs that are too great, even when compared to such numbers. When we have solutions to the pandemic in hand we cannot risk the potential lives lost of rushing a COVID vaccine to market. We must hold dear the central dictum of the medical community, first, do no harm. Trust that given the time science will deliver a medical solution in the form of a vaccine or a chemoprophylactic drug treatment, and in the meantime let us immediately implement the public health strategies that we know will work today to drive new infections down to nothing.
The FDA and CDC, like the DOJ, are completely in the tank for Trump. They’re going to do whatever he tells them to do in his attempt to win reelection. What Biden and the Democrats can do is continually remind the heads of these agencies that if Trump doesn’t pardon them on his way out the door they are going to do hard time. And they know they can’t trust Trump.
Talk about Poisoning the well!
Jeez…Debbie B has gotten soooooooo quiet. Maybe her voice has been muffled by her scarves,
This is yet another own goal for this maladministration. The key to any vaccination program is public trust in it’s safety and efficacy: neither of which will arise if the program appears to be a political ploy.
How these clowns think that steamrolling this through will help their campaign is simply astounding. Producing a vaccine that no one is willing to take is worse than having no vaccine at all.
I’ll consider taking it if it has BIDEN FDA’s seal of approval. Until then, hell to the no.
